Blacknife.... I had the same problem with my kids acers (2) and finally too the cover off and epoxied the power connector into its little plastic clip holder. They haven't had a problem since.  
 
My personal favorites are the Toshibas and the Acers. Acer is a good basic machine that you can get at Wally world for about $600
